Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1452 - 785: Escape Through the Door
Previously on Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension...
Bang!
A huge white silhouette plummeted from above, smashing onto a particular Bone Hill and instantly flattening half of the Skeleton Mountain.
Zhao Sheng hit the earth on hands and knees, his powerful limbs dangling, lifting his savage visage to stare in amazement at the epic clash hundreds of miles distant, his gaze brimming with astonishment.
The Nine-headed Skeleton Dragon's frame was utterly gigantic, far too immense!
Even the section of the skeletal dragon's form protruding from the shadows already dominated much of the Heavenly Vault.
Among all the creatures, the biggest dark colossal bear, towering dozens of yards at the shoulder, appeared minuscule next to the Dragon Head, no larger than a mere insect.
Phoenix and White Tiger, together with Lady Zhang and the rest, resembled a cluster of "mosquitoes" buzzing around the ghostly Dragon Head, now and then unleashing strikes that flickered like tiny sparks, inflicting zero damage on the Dragon Head.
At that instant, not just Phoenix, White Tiger King, and the other mythical beasts had entered the fray, but over a dozen massive, awe-inspiring extraordinary creatures also hovered near every Dragon Head.
Since the Nine-headed Dragon King had nine heads, the beasts targeted one Dragon Head apiece, keeping their fights coordinated and rarely clashing with one another's combats.
Brilliant Divine Light gleamed in Zhao Sheng's eyes as he searched for ages yet couldn't spot the Reincarnation Gate.
Right as the scene grew ever more enigmatic, the earth nearby abruptly caved in, a shadowy gray form darted forth, quietly touching down beside Zhao Sheng before shifting into a big mouse covered in gray fur.
"Little monkey, the moment to flee is just in front, so why hold back?" The gray mouse's tiny eyes shifted slyly, then it abruptly inquired.
"You're not making a move yourself." Zhao Sheng fixed his stare downward, replying: "Plus... plenty more of us are lurking close by. They're not hurrying, and given my weak power, I'm surely not eager to jump in."
"Hehe, that monkey's sharp indeed!" The gray mouse chuckled, peered about, and added: "Hang tight here; I'll go see some old pals."
The moment those words escaped, the gray-furred mouse morphed into a flash of gray radiance, plunging into the soil and disappearing entirely.
Zhao Sheng pulled back his sight, turning his focus once more to the far-off battleground.
Boom, boom!
Suddenly, streams of ghostly light wove through the Void in a frenzy, the pale beams sweeping past and actually halting the nearby space-time, their might utterly inconceivable.
Confronting those ceaselessly ferocious white streams, Phoenix, White Tiger King, the two-headed Jiao, and the other fiends all dreaded them like venomous creatures, fleeing in chaos like a bunch of terrified "bugs."
In no time at all, Zhao Sheng watched firsthand as no fewer than three mighty beasts got engulfed by the white stream, vanishing without a trace in the end.
Roar, roar, roar...
After a hundred breaths passed, the Nine-headed Dragon King appeared irked by the horde of "bugs," lifting its nine heads to bellow wrathfully at the heavens.
That bellow ripped the Void apart, making the Skeleton Land crumble and tear into innumerable endless Earth Abysses.
This appeared to serve as a cue; following the bellow, a limitless flood of blood erupted from the abyss's depths, overwhelming the Skeleton Land.
Zhao Sheng's pulse raced, prompting him to vault high up, soaring hundreds of yards into the sky.
The instant he departed the surface, myriad ghostly Bone Spurs erupted from below, extending thickly without end.
Not long afterward, the boundless bones blanketing the terrain stirred to life, awakening from endless dormancy, writhing as they stood, piecing together at will to build one hideous colossal skeleton beast after another.
Certain colossal skeleton beasts had forms so outlandish they defied mortal fancy.
Everywhere he glanced, across the crimson-stained earth, colossal skeleton beasts spanning hundreds of feet, thousands of feet, even tens of thousands of feet swarmed the area, each radiating terrifying ferocity and an unstoppable aura of might.
Faced with this terrifying spectacle, Zhao Sheng's pupils contracted sharply.
With a mighty thud, his enormous form crashed back to the ground, accidentally pulverizing a skull-like colossal skeleton beast.
Zhao Sheng shoved hard against the earth, launching himself airborne once more, bounding swiftly toward the heart of the battlefield.
Through repeated bounds, he demolished the lunging skeleton beasts with fatal blows.
The trek spanning hundreds of miles wrapped up in just a hundred breaths' time.
Thunderous!
As he reached the base of the Nine-headed Skeleton Dragon, a mountain-sized pink rhinoceros tumbled from the Void, slamming heavily into the ground some two hundred yards before Zhao Sheng.
The pink rhinoceros, its tough skin intact, promptly hauled itself from the crater, stumbling outward.
As it surfaced, their eyes locked abruptly.
The rhinoceros fluttered its "tiny eyes," showing a trace of dread.
Zhao Sheng gave it a slight nod before pivoting to eye the Dragon Head in the Heavenly Vault, then propelled himself powerfully upward.
Observing the giant white ape vanish in a hurry, the pink rhinoceros exhaled deeply in relief, then wore a look of curiosity.
Zhao Sheng kept vaulting across the Void, climbing tens of thousands of feet in seconds, barely evading a white stream a hundred miles wide, and closing in on the closest Dragon Head.
Drawing nearer, the Dragon Head's staggering scale stood out even more. It resembled a colossal Star charging through the Void, where a lone collision could readily shred the Void and unleash massive space-time tempests.
Zhao Sheng timed his jump flawlessly onto the Dragon Head; ahead stretched the endless white skeletal form, like an entire landmass.
A booming crash echoed as Zhao Sheng unleashed a punch akin to a shooting star, slamming into the surface with force enough to level peaks and flip terrain.
To his shock, the very next instant... an unfathomable counterforce surged back, sending sharp agony through his limbs and shoving him several paces away.
Glancing down, a subtle white glow gradually spread, unveiling myriad ancient runes, the spot utterly unscratched.
"Hiss!" Zhao Sheng inhaled sharply, a strange notion surfacing: "When alive, this dragon's power surely surpassed a True Immortal's, maybe holding an even loftier rank..."
